Actually, I'm generally pro-freedom where there is no obvious victim. But that's not true in this case. The way I see it is you can suffer the more modest loss of freedom of mask wearing now. Or you can ignore that and have lockdowns imposed on you later. >Unfortunately, masks became a political issue here in a way that probably had nothing to do with those dumb CDC press releases. You want to believe that, but I think in your heart you know that is not true. Those messages seeped into the public consciousness. I'd be astonished if they're not being cited by MAGA et al against you now. Generally, if you treat people like children, like the CDC did, they won't respond by behaving like adults.

Please remember who the director of the CDC was at that time. https://www.vox.com/2018/3/22/17150322/robert-redfield-cdc-director-trump https://www.vox.com/2018/3/22/17150322/robert-redfield-cdc-d... Robert Redfield was a Trump appointee coming from directorial positions at organizations putting out "abstinence-only education for HIV prevention." https://www.vox.com/2018/3/22/17150322/robert-redfield-cdc-director-trump https://www.vox.com/2018/3/22/17150322/robert-redfield-cdc-d... He is about as representative of your average doctor, as Donald Trump is representative of the average North Dakotan.
